To reset the display, press the Stop button, remove the key, and then reinsert the key. 6 Measure your heart rate if desired. Before using the handgrip pulse sensor, remove the sheets of clear plastic from the metal contacts. In addition, make sure that your hands are clean. Metal Contacts To measure your heart rate, stand on the foot rails and place your hands on the metal contacts-avoid moving your hands. When your pulse is detected, the heart symbol in the display will begin to flash each time your heart beats, one or two dashes will appear, and then your heart rate will be shown. For the most accurate heart rate reading, continue to hold the contacts for about 15 seconds. 7 Turn on the workout fan if desired. To turn on the fan, press the Fan button. To turn on the fan at high speed, press the button a second time. To turn off the fan, press the button a third time. Note: If the fan is left on when the walking belt is stopped, the fan will automatically turn off after a few minutes. 8 When you are finished exercising, remove the key. Step onto the foot rails, press the Stop button, and adjust the incline of the treadmill to the lowest setting. The incline must be at the lowest setting when the treadmill is folded to the storage position, or the treadmill will be damaged. Next, remove the key from the console and put it in a secure place. Note: If the display remains lit after the key is removed, the console is in the "demo" mode. See page 16 and turn off the demo mode. When you are finished using the treadmill, switch the reset/off circuit breaker to the "off" position and unplug the power cord. HOW TO USE THE MYTRACKS™ STEPCOUNTER PROGRAM 1 Insert the key into the console. See HOW TO TURN ON THE POWER on page 12. 2 Select the MyTracks™ StepCounter program. Press the 10,000 Steps Program button; a goal of 10,000 steps will appear in the upper left corner of the display. Note: If the walking belt is moving when the 10,000 Steps Program button is pressed, the walking belt will slow to a stop. Depending on your fitness level, you may desire to walk fewer than or more than 10,000 steps. To change the goal, press the increase and decrease buttons beside the 10,000 Steps Program button. Each time a button is pressed, the goal will change by 500 steps. Note: The goal can be changed either before or after the program is started. Note: To find an appropriate starting goal, walk on the treadmill with the manual mode selected (see page 13), and note the number of steps that you walk during your workout. Then, round that number up to the nearest 500 steps. This can be a starting goal. As your fitness level improves, you can increase the goal by 500 steps every few weeks. IMPORTANT: Always exercise at an intensity level and for a length of time that is comfortable for you. 3 Press the Start button or the Speed increase button to start the program. A moment after the button is pressed, the walking belt will begin to move at 2 mph. Hold the handrails and begin walking. As you exercise, adjust the speed and incline of the treadmill as desired by pressing the Speed and Incline buttons. During the program, the upper left corner of the display will show the number of steps still to be taken. When only ten steps remain, the upper left of the display will flash and a tone will sound repeatedly until you reach the goal. The walking belt will then slow to a stop. 14
